Chris Harrison may not be leaving Bachelor Nation without a fight. The embattled host who has been forced to at least temporarily step down away from the ABC show after defending Rachael Kirkconnell against charges of racism (she attended an antebellum plantation party), has hired power attorney Bryan Freedman, per Page Six.
He’s the same lawyer who represented Gabrielle Union in her fight with NBC over getting ousted from America’s Got Talent.
An insider told Page Six: “Chris has had a spotless record for 20 years … He has always been the good company man, but, after the way he’s been treated by producers and executives over the past couple of weeks, he’s run out of cheeks to turn.”
